This poem comes from Chen Biao's "The First Scholar in the Thirteen Years of Giving Yuan" in the Tang Dynasty. The original text:
Guan Chun South Yard has a pink wall to the east, and the moonlight is red.
The text is 1000 horses, and I like 32 people.
Seeing the fish turn into water, my heart flies out of Ruifeng.
Don't blame Yun Ni's separation from now on. He was always disappointed in the middle of last year.
Translation:
Stick a list of China Jinshi on the east pink wall of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites. In the early hours of the morning, the colors of the earth and the sky have just begun to distinguish, the earth is still gray, and the sky has begun to brighten; The sun will rise before the moon sets. The sun shines on the moon, so the moon looks red. The Jinshi list is only a few thousand words, with only 32 people.
Seeing these top high school students, I jumped into the Longmen from now on, naturally very happy, just like a yellowbird flying in the auspicious wind. From then on, one winner and one loser will go to heaven, but please don't be surprised. Everyone experienced disappointment last year.
Appreciation of "13-year Donation of Yuan to Climb the Top Scholar"
Chen Biao's poems describe a successful scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Facing the Imperial Examination, "Being in Tian Shelang and Being in the Imperial Palace at dusk" is a great contrast, lamenting the unpredictable fate of life, with endless meaning and thought-provoking. There are many choices in life, not just to be admitted to a university or a civil servant. As the saying goes, "If you aim high, you won't get into college", so as to encourage those students who didn't get into college. "
